Genomics

The structure, function, evolution, mapping, and editing of genomes are all studied in genomics, which is an interdisciplinary subject of biology. A genome is a full set of DNA that includes all of an organism's genes. In contrast to genetics, which focuses on individual genes and their functions in inheritance, genomics tries to characterise and quantify all of an organism's genes, as well as their interrelationships and effects on the organism as a whole. With the help of enzymes and messenger molecules, genes may direct the production of proteins. Proteins, in turn, are responsible for the formation of body structures such as organs and tissues, as well as the management of chemical reactions and the transmission of information between cells. Genomics also entails the assembly and analysis of complete genomes using high-throughput DNA sequencing and bioinformatics to assemble and study their function and structure. Advances in genomes have sparked a revolution in discovery-based research and systems biology, making even the most complicated biological systems like the brain easier to comprehend.
